Piles

It is now approaching the middle of the semester and school is totally in full swing. I have decided that I am going to be a climber. That is, so that I can climb out of the piles and piles of homework and study guides that are burying me. The good thing is that after the first round of testing I still have straight A's. It's a miracle seeing that before grading curves, I didn't get an A on any of the tests. After the curves, only one of the tests was an A but all of my grades are still 90% or higher. I am super excited about that. This past week, the cards have been dealt in my favor with some great things happening. Kinda a good change considering I still don't have a job and I am almost always busy doing something whether it is clubs, homework, or friends. I love college life though. It is a ride that I never want to get off. Hidden under the piles and piles of homework is a very happy man thinking, maybe I don't want to be a climber after all and just stay in this haven of learning and growing.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
